(y/n)'s POV

How in the world? Can... Risella do THAT?

She slapped me, but not just any slap. You know that 'slap' in the sappy Korean romantic movie? That 'slap'. She made it sounded like I just stole her husband or something, or did I...

Risella's mascara smeared all over her cheek, she have been crying. The world is just too tough to little spoiled Risella, isn't it? As usual, she changed her outfit 10 times a day, so fast that it gives people headache.

"How dare you?" demanded Risella, holding my hand up, making it harder to break free.

What's the matter with her anyway, I am so curious. Even though her grip can be easily broken, I still want to hear the story. The slap was nothing, I experienced worse. But still, why would she go around and slap people when she knew that her next period is with miss Menchi?

"How dare you little brat to go around and steal other's people fiance?" Risella continued, her eyes flared with flames of anger, literally. Holy...

But, holy crap, how can Risella possessed the power of ancient flame. 

According to the myth, once in a while, a ghostly weapon merchant would appear in its origin, where it was born, and would grant the power of ancient flame to one single person. But the power has its price. You would have to switch soul with a demon, and that demon is the daughter of the merchant herself... 

"Risella, your eyes..." I finally got chance to mumble..

"WHAT?" Risella yelped, she then realized that her eyes are possessed. She fall back, causing me to fall back as well, and mumble some spells, the flame die right after that. But Risella look weaker, her grip on me loosened.

"It wasn't supposed to be like this," Risella mumble, she looked terrified.

"What wasn't supposed to be like what, Risella?" I interrogated her, trying to look dangerous, (but I'm actually very scared )

"None of your business, Yukimura" she spatted back and stumble away, "I can't undo it now," her voice softened.

"You possessed the power of ancient flame", I grip her shoulder, "Why the hell would you sell your soul to get the power?"

"You don't get it", she yell back, "And beside, it's not selling, it's swi-", she seemed to be snapped back into reality, "Wait, why do I have to share my story with you?"

"Because if you don't, both of you is going to detention" a familiar voice shock both of us.

Shit! It was the almighty Ms.Menchi!

"Make that all three of you," Menchi said, wait, three?, "You can't fool me, Mr. Zoldyck, come out of the janitor closet this instant"

The janitor closet was opened, Kilua stepped out...

Wait, he heard everything?

Oohhh, the truth is revealing, Risella seems to be a main character afterall.
